About Heart Strings Dulcimer

THIS IS Heart Strings

THIS IS Heart Strings

THIS IS Heart Strings

Music is an undeniable and integral part of being human. It can mend what is broken  and heal heartache. Music is a part of everyday life, a part of important celebrations, and an emotional support at all times. 

Heart Strings grew out of my love for the hammered dulcimer and my passion to share its beauty and healing qualities.  

That Passion and Power are the motivation and impetus behind Heart Strings.


THIS IS What I Do

THIS IS Heart Strings

THIS IS Heart Strings

I play almost every Friday and Saturday morning at the Butterfly House in Chesterfield, MO, and have performed in many locations in the area. Some of my time is spent giving private lessons in my home studio and on ZOOM. You might also find me teaching or just hanging out at one of the many  dulcimer festivals around the country. I would be happy to perform at your facility or event, or provide healing music via ZOOM or in your home. 


THIS IS MICKEY

THIS IS Heart Strings

THIS IS MICKEY

Although a lifelong music teacher and classical pianist, I first saw a  hammered dulcimer on the streets of St. Augustine in 2017. It was love at first sight! Within months I had one of my own, and spent hours and HOURS learning to play before winning the National Hammered Dulcimer Championship in 2023. 

My several music degrees and extensive training in therapeutic music combine to create a unique blend of classical, folk, pop, hymns, and original music.

Reflections on a Kayak

This piece captures the heavenly feeling of paddling on the lake with the sun barely peaking over the trees, birds singing, gentle breeze blowing, and the swish, swish of the paddling meeting the water. Come take a ride with me. 

Moods of America

America has seen its ups and downs over the past 250 years; my arrangement is meant to express some of the various  eras in our history.
